View article: Predicting the combined impacts of future management and climate change on moorland bird species
Predicting the combined impacts of future management and climate change on moorland bird species Open
Understanding the combined effects of wildlife management and climate change on species is important for planning appropriate interventions. However, predictions of the effectiveness of management interventions alongside climate change imp…

Explaining and predicting animal migration under global change Open
Many migratory species are declining due to global environmental change. Yet, their complex annual cycles make unravelling the impacts of potential drivers such as climate and land‐use change on migrations a major challenge. Identifying wh…

Meteorological Data Policies Needed to Support Biodiversity Monitoring with Weather Radar Open
Weather radar networks have great potential for continuous and long-term monitoring of aerial biodiversity of birds, bats, and insects. Biological data from weather radars can support ecological research, inform conservation policy develop…

The importance of direct and indirect trophic interactions in determining the presence of a locally rare day-flying moth Open
Ecosystem engineers affect other organisms by creating, maintaining or modifying habitats, potentially supporting species of conservation concern. However, it is important to consider these interactions alongside non-engineering trophic pa…

View article: The role of risk perception and affect in predicting support for conservation policy under rapid ecosystem change
The role of risk perception and affect in predicting support for conservation policy under rapid ecosystem change Open
Conservation conflicts are damaging for humans and wildlife, with differences in people's objectives fuelling challenges of managing complex, dynamic systems. We investigate the relative importance of economic, psychological (affect, trust…

Contrasting Effects of Climate Change on Alpine Chamois Open
Global climate change can affect animal ecology in numerous ways, but researchers usually emphasize undesirable consequences. Temperature increases, for instance, can induce direct physiological costs and indirect effects via mismatches in…
View article: Emerging conflict between conservation programmes: when a threatened vertebrate facilitates the dispersal of exotic species in a rare plant community
Emerging conflict between conservation programmes: when a threatened vertebrate facilitates the dispersal of exotic species in a rare plant community Open
As an ever‐increasing variety of conservation programmes are applied in human‐altered environments, there is a growing risk that different conservation actions with conflicting objectives may impede one another. Preventing and resolving th…

The influence of different aspects of grouse moorland management on nontarget bird assemblages Open
Conflict between stakeholders with opposing interests can hamper biodiversity conservation. When conflicts become entrenched, evidence from applied ecology can reveal new ways forward for their management. In particular, where disagreement…
View article: Wicked conflict: Using wicked problem thinking for holistic management of conservation conflict
Wicked conflict: Using wicked problem thinking for holistic management of conservation conflict Open
Conservation conflict is widespread, damaging, and has proved difficult to manage using conventional conservation approaches. Conflicts are often “wicked problems,” lacking clear solutions due to divergent values of stakeholders, and being…

Time series analysis reveals synchrony and asynchrony between conflict management effort and increasing large grazing bird populations in northern Europe Open
The management of conflicts between wildlife conservation and agricultural practices often involves the implementation of strategies aimed at reducing the cost of wildlife impacts on crops. Vital to the success of these strategies is the p…

Functional responses in animal movement explain spatial heterogeneity in animal–habitat relationships Open
Summary Understanding why heterogeneity exists in animal–habitat spatial relationships is critical for identifying the drivers of animal distributions. Functional responses in habitat selection – whereby animals adjust their habitat select…
View article: The behavioral trade-off between thermoregulation and foraging in a heat-sensitive species
The behavioral trade-off between thermoregulation and foraging in a heat-sensitive species Open
The range-shifts of many species are lagging behind climate change, meaning that those species are likely to experience increases in average ambient temperature. Heat-sensitive species may experience increasingly precarious trade-offs betw…
